Stretch Yo-Self B4 U Wreck Yo-Self

Yesterday (Tuesday 9/28) I did 3 Rounds for time of:

6 HSPU on Parallettes

12 Clean & Jerk, 135lb

18 Deadlift, 225lb

24 Pull Ups

30 Double Unders

Nasty WOD and I loved it. My time was 17:41. Today I woke up and could really feel the effects of the past two days of training. Every muscle and joint felt tight and achy. I did yoga today at 10am and felt so much better afterwards. My stretching game as of late has been almost non-exsistent whereas in the past it's been on point. I did yoga a few times prior to Sectionals and Regionals earlier this year and I know that doing it in conjunction with once a week sports massage/PRT and daily stretching really benefitted my overall athletic performance. I'm not gonna lie- after recently seeing a CrossFit Journal video of 2010 Games champ, Graham Holmberg incorporating yoga into his training routine- it reminded me of how much better I felt when I was including it in mine. Trust me, I've got no shame when it comes to ripping off anyone's game- ecspecially not Graham Holmberg's.

After training a few clients and grabbing some lunch, this afternoon I did a strength workout of 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Snatch Balance and got to 245lb. I followed that up with a 5k Row for conditioning.

As for the most exciting part of my day...well, you'll just have to read for yourself (Read Comment # 24 first then scroll down to Comment # 30): http://crossfit-springfield.com/?p=6119#comments . I've heard that Coach Glassman once said, "When I step into your facility, I'll be able to tell the most about how successful your business is by first inspecting the bathrooms." Coach...Don't worry, at CrossFit Springfield we show no discrimination when it comes to making sure turds of all colors, creeds, shapes, and sizes are dealt with and properly destroyed. We also flush our poop.

CrossFit Springfield

CrossFit Springfield is so much more than a place for elite athletes to become stronger, faster, more powerful, more flexible, more athletic, more agile, and more mentally tough. It's more than a place to gain greater work capacity over broad time and modal domains, and to set PRs and take off your shirt and roll around on the ground gasping for oxygen in a pile of sweat and possibly vomit.

CrossFit Springfield also happens to be a safe place where untrained or deconditioned athletes participate to test and better their strength, their endurance, and their will to become better people and better athletes. Fortunately for them, they receive daily instruction and coaching by the most caring, straight forward, knowledgeable, and motivating strength and conditioning coaching team in SouthWest Missouri.

There are two types of pain in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Any CrossFitter will tell you "It won't be easy" This is because it shouldn't be easy. You will earn your fitness. And your life will thank you for it.
